From the author's FOREWORD. This is a purely utilitarian book, designed entirely to help the candidate over some of the pitfalls he will encounter in dealing with the examination Fugue, and to give him some idea of appropriate style and construction. My only apology for adding to the existing number of books on Fugue is the fact that I have felt the need for some such compilation in my own teaching. The historical and traditional aspects of Fugue may be (and should be) studied in many other books; I am not herein concerned with anything but the kind of Fugue which has to be produced, under conditions which generally involve a certain amount of nervous strain, in a maximum time of three hours; a Fugue which is likely to present problems which were rarely, if ever, envisaged by Bach who, despite the speed at which he obviously had to work, was not labouring under the handicap of a rigid time-limit. I make no apology for my strictures on the kind of trap subject sometimes set - strictures which might be construed as being uncomplimentary to the devisers of such subjects. While I am in no way opposed to the setting of problems of legitimate difficulty, I feel that it should be a sine qua non that such problems be capable of a really musical solution. This, unfortunately, is not always the case, and one could quote numerous examples of subjects which seem to be designed to find out what sort of a second-rate best the harassed candidate can make of what is in any case bound to be a musically bad job. My thanks are due to Dr. B. Burrows for much invaluable criticism and advice.
